From Our Editors

Nestled amid the black-curtained confines of Modern Elegance Salon and Spa, stylists and aestheticians forge stray locks into silky new hairdos and battle the signs of aging with wrinkle-reducing facials. Above heads, silver chandeliers drip with sparkling prisms, which send light bouncing off walls as staffers offer a menu of services that includes massage and waxing treatments.

There are several options when it comes to boutique shopping in Atlanta—we’re a city that loves to shop—but depending on your tastes and budget, finding the perfect fit can be a bit of a task. After living and shopping in Atlanta for about a year and a half, I was so pleasantly surprised when I found what has now become my favorite place to shop: Dress Up.
Dress Up is a local boutique shop with 10 locations in Georgia. After opening in 2009 just north of Atlanta, owners Derrick and Danielle Case decided to expand and open more shops in town. “Our customer base continued to ask us to come ‘into the perimeter’, so we did! It has been an awesome experience to say the least!” they share.
Upon arrival at Dress Up, customers are instantly transported to a charmingly chic world of fashion. With rustic and earthy décor like reclaimed wood and faux greenery, it’s hard to believe the shop isn’t located in a storybook. Dress Up perfectly combines that homey, welcoming aesthetic with clean, modern and cheerful elements to create an environment you never want to leave.
Not only is the shop itself incredibly pleasing to the eye, but the clothing and accessories that Dress Up offers are unique and on trend. And as if that’s not enough, a glance at a price tag will send you into a state of euphoric bliss. “Our prices are extremely competitive for the area, and we go above and beyond to make our stores feel like our prices would be 2-3 times the cost of what they are,” reveal the owners.
With such a lovely storefront and budget-friendly pricing, it’s already almost too good to be true. But the perks of Dress Up don’t stop there. The staff of enthusiastic and friendly ladies make the experience of shopping at Dress Up that much more enjoyable. These employees go above and beyond to make sure customers find exactly what they are looking for without being overbearing or pushy in the slightest.
The Dress Up owners put a lot of importance on their staff; “We pride ourselves on giving the customers 100% of our attention and spend a minimum of 20 hours training every employee to meet our standards,” Derrick and Danielle share. They also “interview hundreds to find the perfect Ladies of Dress Up.”
As a very experienced shopper, I find shopping at Dress Up to be a dream. But don’t take my word for it. Visit any one of Dress Up’s Atlanta locations for yourself.

It’s not that Atlanta’s best date-night restaurants are lacking in the food department—the city's chefs make exquisite Italian, French, Persian, and Indian dishes. It’s just that the eateries’ romantic atmospheres do most of the work when it comes to setting the mood. Picturesque gardens inspire stolen kisses at La Grotta. An avant-garde chandelier and black-and-white decor ooze elegance at Aria. And the soft melodies emanating from the Chattahoochee River underscore quiet conversation at Canoe.
Multiple Locations: Italian Gardens
La Grotta | Multiple Locations
At La Grotta’s two locations, breathtaking gardens serve as an enchanting backdrop for dates. In Buckhead, lush foliage rises from stone-lined flowerbeds in the courtyard, whereas at the Ravinia eatery, trickling waterfalls cut through the greenery. At both restaurants, chefs serve organic Italian fare—even custom dishes, if you call ahead.
Buckhead Village: Painstakingly Staged Dinners
Aria | 490 E. Paces Ferry Rd. NE
Dinner at Aria is more than just another meal; it’s the main event. Chefs spend all day preparing, often letting meats roast, simmer, or stew for hours. By the time guests gather under the avant-garde chandelier, chefs need only focus on putting the finishing touches on their expertly plated contemporary American fare.
Downtown: 360 Skyline View
Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View | 210 Peachtree St. NW
Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View rotates throughout the day from its perch on the top floor of the Westin. That means guests get to see different pieces of Atlanta’s skyline during the course of their meal, or they can head to the observatory for a 360-degree view.
North Atlanta: French Cuisine with Piano Accompaniment
Violette | 2948 Clairmont Rd. NE
Coq au vin, roasted duck breast, and chocolate mousse are among the most popular French dishes at Violette. But it’s not just the cuisine that makes it so romantic; the eatery resides in a secluded building 50 feet from the street, and hosts live piano music six times a week.
Vinings: Romance on the River
Canoe | 4199 Paces Ferry Rd. NW
Set on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, Canoe’s name couldn’t be more fitting. Riverside gardens and walkways are perfect for a post-dinner stroll, while in the dining room, iron vines, animal sculptures, and a canoe-inspired ceiling bring the outdoors in. This warm, rustic setting complements the seasonal cuisine.
Buckhead: Sensual Surroundings
Tantra Restaurant and Bar | 2285 Peachtree Rd. NE
Once a week, Tantra Restaurant and Bar hosts “Sultry Jazz Thursdays,” when live musicians supply the mood music. But every night at Tantra could be considered sultry thanks to the risqué artwork on its walls and the spicy Persian and Indian cuisine served by its chefs.
Downtown Decatur: Practice Your French
Cafe Alsace | 121 E. Ponce De Leon Ave.
Dinner here is the next best thing to a European vacation: every server speaks French, and the food—from pecan-stuffed chicken to sauerkraut with three sausages—exhibits the French and German influences of the restaurant's namesake region.
Sandy Springs: Where the River Meets the Sea
Ray's on the River | 6700 Powers Ferry Rd. NW
Live Maine lobsters are flown in fresh every day to Ray's on the River, as is all of its certified-sustainable seafood. The fish has to be delicious to compete with Ray's other specialty: hearty Black Angus steaks, aged for a minimum of 21 days.
Midtown: European Wines
Ecco | 40 7th St. NE
Rich, dark wood and leather give Ecco's dining room a laid-back feel. But peek inside the open kitchen and you’ll see chefs bustling to prepare small plates of seasonal European cuisine such as cured meats and cheeses, wood-fired octopus, and salt-roasted beets. The dishes complement Ecco's rare European wines.
Poncey-Highland: Heat Up the Warehouse
Two Urban Licks | 820 Ralph McGill Blvd. NE
Two Urban Licks was once a warehouse and the industrial vibe lingers on in the dining room's enormous rotating rotisserie. There's also an entire 26-foot wall devoted to 72 barrels of wine, which pour via a gravity-powered system.

Fall has arrived and if you haven’t made it out to the Atlanta Beltline yet this year, now is the perfect time to explore and enjoy some of the city’s best food and drink along the way. The Beltline is a 33 mile ring around the city that connects neighborhoods with multi-use trails along with planned transit.
The network is still under construction, however there are many paths that have been completed and there are many establishments for eating and imbibing along the two mile long Eastside Trail which connects the Virginia Highland, Midtown, Poncey-Highland, Old Fourth Ward and Inman Park neighborhoods.
Long before the current trend of artisan pizzas took over the Atlanta scene, Fritti, has been plying its trade in what was then a quiet corner of the Old Fourth Ward. Fritti’s inviting patio, just a block away from the Beltline offers authentic Neapolitan pizzas, with my favorites being the arancini appetizer and their Regina Margherita pizza. Servers are happy to offer a wine pairing from their all-Italian list. 309 North Highland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 Phone: (404) 880-9559
Brunch wouldn’t be complete for many without a cocktail or two, and The Albert - a casual bar with an open kitchen and great pub food have a number of great libations on their list. Try the In The Shade cocktail, a great alternative to a mimosa that features gin, prosecco, citrus and hints of vanilla.
On the food side of the menu, try their bacon waffles served with bourbon caramel syrup and topped with their popular smoked wings. The Albert’s popular diner burger gets a brunch twist on the weekends with a fried egg, bacon and barbecue hollandaise. 918 Austin Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 Phone: (404) 872-4990
For those that prefer to DIY, a trip to Savi Urban Market, nestled between the two previous restaurants will allow you to create your own gourmet meal option for dining along the Beltline to take in the Atlanta skyline views.
The market carries produce, fine cheeses and assorted beverages including a hard-to-find ginger beers made by Bruce Cost and local beer ice cream purveyor, Frozen Pints. Sandwiches in the deli are a cut above your typical corner store with house roasted meats and Holeman and Finch bread. 287 Elizabeth St NE Atlanta, GA 30307 Phone: (404) 869-1818
Energetic restaurant TWO urban licks sits directly on the Beltline and pairs its soulful Sunday brunch menu with live blues. Their patio offers skyline views and plenty of people watching to go with popular dishes including salmon chips, brioche beignets, pork belly and creamy grits with smoked gouda and double smoked bacon. 820 Ralph McGill Blvd NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 Phone: (404) 522-4622
An afternoon on the Beltline wouldn’t be complete without a popsicle from Poncey Highland’s own King of Pops. They’ve grown from a single popsicle stand on Highland Avenue to locations throughout the Southeast. Look out for their stand along the Eastside Trail and check out their fall flavors Apple Pie a la Mode and Pumpkin Pie. Bernina and Elizabeth St Atlanta, GA 30307 Phone: (404) 507-6774
